Baltimore Comic-Con Announces On-Site CGC Grading for this Year’s Show

June 19, 2014

The Baltimore Comic-Con is excited to announce that Certified Guaranty Company, LLC (CGC) will be on-hand to conduct on-site grading at this year’s show. The show, which is expanding this year to three days, will take place the weekend of September 5-7 at the Baltimore Convention Center.

According to Harshen Patel, Director of Operations for CGC, they will be accepting submission for all tiers of service – with the exception of Magazines – on a first-come, first-serve basis for all three days of the show. In addition to the on-site grading, CGC will be partnering with Classic Collectible Services (CCS) to also offer attendees of the show on-site pressing service.

“The Baltimore Comic-Con has always been such a successful show and CGC has shared in that success over the years,” said Patel. “With the show moving to 3 days, it was only natural for us to offer on-site grading to the collectors and dealers attending this year.”

“We couldn’t be happier to have CGC exhibiting at the show,” said Marc Nathan, show promoter of the Baltimore Comic-Con. “The services that they provide in the collectible community are invaluable, and having them on-hand to provide on-site grading and pressing will make many of the show’s attendees very happy!”

Pricing information for on-site services will be available as we approach the show date.
